This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

One of my all time favorites.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I'm an ardent cat lover and I did NOT like this film. First off the premise is extremely silly, second cats get a bad enough rap by the jerks in Hollyweird always trying to make dogs so damn great. Cats are sweet, loving, wonderful and many times good mommies to their babies. This movie sucks and it was stupid. I do not recommend at all

***SPOILERS**** After moving into their dream house in the country the Jarretts Lindsey & Paul, Kethleen Quinlan and a Richard Dryfuss looking Timothy Bushfield,, soon find out that they are in fact encroaching on a cat pack that's occupying the house. The pack is headed by the scary looking feral gay alpha male who as it soon turns out take no prisoners and are determined to run them out of the place. This all starts when the Jarrett's adopt a stray cat and her kitten found in the woods in order to help them out on the out of control rat problem that their facing. As it turned out it was the cats that were far more dangerous then any rat pack who soon-headed by the alpha male-were driven out by them who occupied the house.There's also Lindsey's sister the sex starved Claire Lederer, Claudia Christian, whom Paul is representing in her divorce action against her never at home-And always out partying- husband whom she developed the hots for. All this creates tensions between the two sisters to the point of them swinging and throwing drinks at each other in public and making Paul's task of doing his job-as a lawyer and husband-that much more difficult. It's when the cat pack start to come into the open, with the alpha male staking out his territory, that the cat sh*t finally hits the fan as well as everything else in the house. ***SPOILERS**** Shocking scenes of hoards of cats running rampant all over the Jarrett house lead by the ferocious and unkempt looking alpha male who earlier took care of the caring and friendly phone-man, Gary McGurk, who discovered them hiding in the basement while installing the house phone. It's Lindsey and her 6 year old daughter Tessa, played by twins Heather & Jessica Lilley, who are trapped in the house with the feral alpha male leading the charge against them. As for Claire she ends up falling to her death by breaking her neck when attacked by the gray alpha male in her trying to rescue both her sister Lindsey and niece Tessa from the rampaging pack of wild cats. It's now up to Paul, driving to the house in a pouring rain, to save whet's left of his family as his well as pet dog Benny who ended up being mauled by the cat pack for sticking his nose, in the basement, where it doesn't belong. And it's only an electoral current, like an electric chair, that can bring this horror to a final end when the leader of the cat pack the alpha male ends up getting it between his teeth as he tries to finish off Paul!

This movie has a very interesting plot. A family moves into a new home and are terrorized by cats. It just sounds like another "nature out of control" killer animal type movies. And it is, but with cats. Come on, CATS! You could probably name any animal and it would probably have a horror movie about it, but I think that cats is probably the absolute worst choice for an animal killer. Like another user said, Cujo can tear your leg off, Jaws can chew you to bits, and insects can bite and swarm, but cats weight about 10 lbs, and the only thing they can do is scratch and bite. Any other animal would have made this movie scarier, even mice. Of course, there are horror movies about them, and they are scary because, they can bite and swarm, but when cats have always been looked at as "cute and cuddly" pets, a movie like this doesn't seem as scary as all the others. It just looks stupid. If you are a catlover, stay away from this at all costs. I, myself, am a catlover, and after watching it, you just sorta get a weird feeling. The only good thing about this movie is the acting, which I think was pretty decent. The cast did good when pretending to be afraid of these cats. This movie has wasted all nine of it's lives.

A couple years ago while in college, my roommate and I were flipping channels before heading off to a history class we were both enrolled in. That day we never made it to class because USA was showing this as its afternoon movie and we became so entertained by the crappiness of this film that we didn't dare leave before seeing the conclusion. You will want to slap Kathleen Quinlan silly for the way she freaks out -- so what, you have some stray cats in your house, she let them in the house in the first place!!! I forget where her husband is during all of this, but other people who come to help and investigate are put out of commission by these violent kitties. One of my favorite scenes is where she goes to look for her "baby" (who is like a 5 year old girl) in the crib and there is nothing but cats to be found and Quinlan freaks out as if they had eaten her ugly daughter. If you are looking for something scary, don't even consider this because the supposed suspense and chills are nonexistent -- but it was good for a laugh and skipping a boring class.
